I’m fairly new and don’t 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?
Especially with the influx of new users. Hardware upgrades are needed.
Oh please. Don’t try and play the victim card here. You roll into this place with clearly no understanding of the Fediverse or Federated services and general and start spewing hyperbole and engaging in general fear mongering.
Then you cry foul when you get called out on it. Don’t for a minute think your tired old cliche of making inflammatory statements then playing victim will wash for even one second.
M8, I’m not here to have slap fights with people like you.
You clearly are talking in bad faith, you claim I’m making inflammatory despite you failing, entirely, twice now, to attack my argument and not me.
And after pushing you to not be an ass, here you are again, being an ass. How about you try and engage on the topic, instead of stooping to interpersonal politics?
I have little idea, yeah, that’s why I’m actually talking about it to kick off some conversation that either shows me why/how I’m wrong or otherwise increases my understanding. You have done neither, you have no leg to stand on to complain there as you have done nothing about it.
I’m a professional in this space, and am speaking from my experience in the industry and with scaling applications. I have a basis of understanding to pull from, and am enjoying actual discussion with others and have found a few technical people to dive deeper with, unlike you. And have learned a lot from others who have expanded on my points in other threads, and corrected me where I’m wrong. Again, you have done none of this.
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with technical conversation and common discourse/argument? Because toxicity is not how you carry one on.
I look forward to you failing to understand or absorb any of this, and continue with your personal attacks instead of contributing to actual discussion!
I’m talking in bad faith? Says the person who comes in swinging then instantly shifts to victim mode.
You didn’t have an idea, you had an accusation. That accusation was called out, slapped down and now you are trying to build some narrative about being some “poor defenseless commentary just looking to discussed and idea”. Bullshit!
I’m done with you. Truth is where it needs to be. Your attempt to slander the Fediverse failed. Learn to live with your failures.
